Blasad Gàidhlig sessions are progressive Gaelic language and culture sessions for children and their teachers in nursery and primary schools where Gaelic is being taught as an additional language. These sessions are delivered primarily through active learning, games and song.

Head Teacher Account
You can find here a testimonial from the headteacher at Ladeside Primary School in Falkirk about the success of Blasad Gàidhlig in their school. It explains how the sessions work practically, how much the children and their teachers enjoy them and what they intend to do to develop Gaelic in their school in the future.
